A man has been charged with attempted murder after a vehicle hit pedestrians on a busy west London road on Saturday.

Timir Ahmed Mohamed, 34, is charged with five counts of attempted murder as well as dangerous driving, failing to stop, failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis and criminal damage, the Metropolitan police said.

The Somalia-born man has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates’ Court later.

Counter-terrorism police made initial inquiries but the incident at Ealing Broadway is not being treated as terrorism.

Three people were taken to hospital after the incident and two others were treated at the scene.

None of their injuries were life-threatening or life-changing, according to the Met.
